Quartermaster General Ludington has received a cable message from Colonel Miller, quartermaster at Manila, saying that the transport Hancock, which had been unavoidably detained by continuance of storm, had sailed on the 19th instant for San Francisco. No mention was made of the transport Logan, but it is supposed that she will be ready to start for Taku on the 24th instant with the Ninth infantry as previously predicted by General MacArthur. It is understood here that the movement of the regiment to Manila from Tarlac, Conception and other stations on the Manila and Dagupan railway has been delayed by the prevalence of severe storms in the interior.
